Ice Cream Happy Hour: 50 Boozy Treats That You Spike and Freeze at Home

156 Pages·2011·2.89 MB·English

Desserts like Tiramisu and Cherries Jubilee have long used liquor to
add fun and flavor. Now and for the first time ever, this book shows
how ice cream can be infused with booze to create exciting new
frozen treats. Follow the authors’ clever technique by adding a
generous pour of spirits to your homemade ice cream and you’ll soon
be impressing family, friends and party guests with the coolest of 21-
and-over desserts.
Ice Cream Happy Hour offers sinfully spiked versions of the classics
including Vanilla with Brandy, Chocolate with Grand Marnier, and
Cookies and Cream with Vodka. The authors have also created
devilishly delicious gourmet flavors like Caramel with Spiced Rum,
Maple with Bourbon and Jasmine Tea with Sake.
Bringing the bar room to the soda fountain, Ice Cream Happy Hour
features cocktail-inspired recipes for everything from a Manhattan,
White Russian and Whiskey Sour to a Mojito, Lemon Drop and
Strawberry Daiquiri.
With step-by-step instructions and beautiful photos, this book shows
how easy it is to turn a standard flavor into a hard ice cream. For
example, transform pineapple into a smashingly delicious piña colada
with a little fresh coconut and the four shots of rum swirling around
in your ice cream maker.
